Title: Can anyone help?!
Post by: Shadowcat on July 18, 2001, 03:12:00 am
I am working on a campaign and need a new cruiser.  I asked a modder but he is very buisy and told me to try here.

What I need is a Leviathan cruiser that has had stuff added onto it so it is more like a corvet class.  I can Draw a picture of it from all sides.

I also am hoping I could get someone to do a new fighter, the GTF Icarus, and a new reskinned Perseus class fighter, with 2 new gun mounts and 1 new missle rack.  

Can anyone help?!?!

Firstly, welcome to HLP, Shadowcat!  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

As for the Leviathan - I'm not 100% sure what you mean, do you mean a new model entirely, or just added weapons? Yes, the pictures would be good.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

As for new fighters, there are lots of new ships, as well as a new reskinned Perseus, in our mod database.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Well......what I mean by it is like added engines and a fighterbay added on and stuff like that.  I'll try to get a picture up soon, so keep looking  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Ok, I did an rough layout of the ship.  Take a look at the website(Its still being developed).  It's under the Screenshots section.  

If you want to possible help, I can send you a bigger version so you can read the turrets.

The up and down lines indicate the kind of grey metal(on Leviathan class) texture.  The right to left lines indicate that kind of brown metal found on the Hecate class destroyer.  And, the diagnal lines indicate the original texture found on the Leviathan.

Well, its carrying something similar to the ETAK, but, it acts like beacon for Shivans.  The Neptune jumps in activates it self and then jumps out and soon Shivans will jump in.  My campaign is about trying to track it down, but, it has many engines (4) so it is hard to disable, but I dont want to say what happens at the end of the campaign   (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Can you help model?  UGH...need...moddeler...

this ("http://members.home.net/bobboau/stuff/sub.zip") is something I made recently it's looking for a good campain or two, and ironicaly it's called the GTSmC Neptune, it's suposed to be a SSM strike cruser\corvette, but you can change it's loadout to what ever you like. and if you absolutly have to you can change the name as it may conflict with your campain artisticly.

I also must say that is a Very nice concept, so good I may make it if no one else does and I can find the time.

two things that are very unlikely though

All I can say is wow Bobboau.

That's one of the best models I've ever seen. Kudos to you and if you get some time I may try to wrangle a few tips from you  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

the bigest tip I give is to "make it out of one subobject", that should probly be my title. ether that or, make fighters with "one map damnit!"

I can't get the zip file to work...it says its corrupted or something...ugh

Man, so many people want to model this ship....lol (ugh)  It you can help, yay!(and thanks for just considering it)  As for the neptune, I had no idea that you made a ship called that.  I can change it if you want.

As for the Starcraft thing, hehehe, that never actually came to mind    (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)  But, my story is kind of like that...I guess...

Here's the pic (if GeoCities decides to behave, that is...); people generally like to see the object in question in topic.    (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

EDIT: CRAP! That's big!!! Isn't there any way to limit the display size of pics in the forums? HTML, oh HTML, whereforso art thou?

I'm trying to get away with one on the Morrigan fighter but single map texing is a pain in the a$$.

By tips I actually meant "what gives you the ideas for the design of the model" it's very asthetically pleasing  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

I listen to heavy metal music and play FS and just think of stuff I get the basic layout of the ship (guns, engines)

or I just get a flash of the shape in my mind.
